Road Report:
In the recent storm we had 3 lines go down and 5 trees in roads. All were cleared up with 24 hours.
Weiland Rd has an issue with “encroachment on to road.” Supervisor Abba will bring a letter to the July meeting for approval to send.
Gorges Rd rebuild is scheduled to begin June 20, 2017. Brehmer Rd ditching east of Lietzke and Guhl Rd will take place in a few weeks.
The right-of-way mow back will be a single pass instead of the intended full mow-back that was planned to help combat wild parsnip. The wetness in the ditches prevents the full mow-back at this time; however, the second pass will happen in a few weeks if the ground is dry enough.
A resident raised concerns about safety on Bean City Rd because there are frequently children and deer in the road near the S-curve. The Town is working with the county on adding appropriate signage for that stretch of road.
Property Report:
Supervisor Knuth reported that the AC unit has been installed.
CEC Report:
The outdoor restroom project is nearly complete, other than the liquid soap dispensers. The Port-a-Potty will be removed this week.
The park plan sub-committee is meeting on June 29 to finalize a park plan with the priority of applying for grants to complete the perimeter walking trails within the park.
The marketing sub-committee has marketing plans from the FVTC and is now making a marketing profile.
County Supervisor Report:
Supervisor Kietzman reported that the Highway Initiative got a pick-up truck from the Home that he believes they intend to use for a portable scale for enforcing weight limits. The county will be working on the budget from now until November.
Other Discussion Items:
The Lions Club Chicken BBQ is this Sunday, June 25.
Thank you to the Community Club for the donation of a new flag pole and flag.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:48 pm
Respectfully Submitted,
Natalie Snyder, Clerk
